To quote Joel Spolski, has anyone using a distributed VCS lost any significant amount of code?
If github annoys you you can concievably create a new repo elsewhere, change origin locally, push.
The real question is how long until they annoy you. And how easy it would be to set up an automatic mirror beforehand.
- guappa 2y agoYou can't migrate the bug reports.
- loloquwowndueo 2y agoRun a periodic script that slurps bug data via the API and updates a file in the repo with this information. If GitHub goes away you at least have a local copy of the raw data no more than a day old or so. GitHub json data is horrible but not intractable to work with.
- nottorp 2y agoMaybe you shouldn't use features that contribute to lock in indeed.
- guappa 2y agoI don't use github at all…
